All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl. Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard is a Franco-Swiss film director, screen writer and critic. He is often identified with the group of filmmakers known as the French Nouvelle Vague, or "New Wave".

His most celebrated period as a filmmaker is roughly from his first feature, Breathless (1960), through to Week End (1967) focused on relatively conventional works that often refer to different aspects of film history. This cinematic period stands in contrast to the revolutionary period that immediately followed it, during which Godard ideologically denounced much of cinema’s history as "bourgeois" and therefore without merit.
